Classic 小笼包 (soup dumplings) with authentic dipping chilli oil condiments! Such a comforting meal so far away from home.

So glad they opened a location in Williamsburg. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. The shrimp wontons in spicy peanut sauce are one of my favorite dishes to get anywhere and I crave it. The soup dumplings are just OK, I think something is lost when they aren’t made on site but if you need to scratch that itch it will do the trick otherwise go somewhere in Chinatown. They are open until 2am and there’s no waiters just order at the counter. It’s right off Bedford ave and Grand st. So good! Get it!

Saw this while walking around and it was soooo delicious. Easy to order and quick to get. The crab + pork soup dumplings were so good. 10/10!

Had a great experience at Nan Xiang Express in Williamsburg! We ordered the chicken stir-fry and scallion pancakes, and both were fantastic. The chicken stir-fry was flavorful, with tender chicken and perfectly cooked vegetables, all coated in a delicious sauce. The scallion pancakes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and had just the right amount of oniony flavor. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. Definitely a great spot for a casual and satisfying meal—will be coming back to try more!

Amazing dumplings and siu mai! Cant go wrong. Great and quick service!

New to NYC. Here for a work contract so I’m trying food in the area. This place was delicious! All of the food was excellent and the staff were so efficient and kind. I’ll be coming back here again so I can try everything on the menu. Thank you!

I have tried many many ramen places in Brooklyn. I would say that this is by far the best Ramen spot in Brooklyn. Of special note is their vegan Ramens - from the very well seasoned and rich broth to the roasted vegetables, the vegan ramens are thoughtfully and thoroughly prepared. I look forward to trying all the other ramens at this place. Very pleasantly surprised.

One of the best cozy dinner spots in the area. The Tonkotsu broth is stupendous, full of flavor and feel good. It’s a classic ramen style with less added oil and extra flavors than other spots. I commend the buns here, especially the shrimp tempura. Delicate, delish, and a perfect savory appetizer before a nourishing bowl of ramen. This place has decent 2/ 4 table seating and a good amount of space in between, making for a comfier atmosphere but still oriented to be a quicker sit. The service is attentive and quick.

I am very picky about vegetarian ramen, and this place didn’t disappoint at all! I got the miso ramen with garlic oil. Delicious.

Great restaurant with excellent service and delicious food. They also provide a kid-friendly set with plates, bowls, spoons, and a cup, which is a big plus for families.

good food, good service. Love the kale salad and garlic ramen. The matcha ice cream was bomb!

Why fly to Japan when we have this on Bedford avenue? Great food at reasonable prices. Get the karage chicken. Cute spot with a lot of regulars. Reasonably priced beers too.

Josh Mancher

It’s a great staple ramen spot. Always busy, but never a line. Very friendly staff with good portions at a good price. I get an app and ramen and can leave without still being hungry. Everything tastes good.

高子雯

Good ramen. Love the broth and the texture of the noodles. The service was also great, the ladies were so friendly to our baby. Nice experience dining in.

Sam Esce

Everything is delicious and the service is great. My favorites are the edamame, the kale mushroom, and the vegan tantenmen ramen

James Scearce

this may be my new favorite restaurant. everything from the atmosphere, the service, and most importantly, the food, were top notch i don't think i've had ramen this good. the broth in the shoyu tonkotsu was simply out of this world the portion sizes are more than fair for the price (especially with the lunch special deals) i will 10000% be coming back. thank you for a great lunch.

I discovered this ramen place purely by chance, but after my first visit, it instantly became my go-to spot for ramen. I’m a noodle lover, always on the hunt for that perfect bowl, and this place blew me away in every possible way. The noodles were outstanding — perfectly chewy with a depth of flavor that made each bite feel special. My wife, who’s had authentic ramen in Tokyo, even said it reminded her of the noodles she’d enjoyed there, which is a high compliment in itself. We ordered both the Tsukemen and the Miso Ramen. The Tsukemen, in particular, was a standout. I can honestly say it’s the best ramen I’ve ever had in my life. The broth was rich and flavorful without being overwhelming, and dipping the noodles in it was a joy — the flavors were perfectly balanced. The Miso Ramen was equally delicious, with a comforting, savory broth that had just the right hint of sweetness. Every element, from the broth to the toppings, was well thought out and perfectly executed. Beyond the incredible food, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about their food, which added a welcoming touch to the whole experience. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service shine so brightly, and this ramen shop has both in spades. In short, this is more than just a meal — it’s an experience that leaves you craving for more. Whether you’re a hardcore ramen enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable meal, I can’t recommend this place enough. I’ve found my ramen home, and I’ll be back again and again to relive this delicious experience.

Setagaya is a hidden gem in Williamsburg. If you like ramen, you will not wanna miss it. I found it randomly and was so surprised by the ramen quality and the cozy environment. The restaurant is not big and there are around ten tables for dining in. The server is gentle and nice and would cover every detail during the serving. She was so experienced and as if knew everything you needed while having the ramen. This restaurant doesn't provide dessert if I correctly remember. I ordered Chashu ramen, dipping ramen, tofu salad, and avocado salad. Chashu ramen contains mushrooms which makes the broth super tasty and fresh. Dipping ramen is amazing with its rich and tasty dipping broth. Every noodle will be covered by the dipping broth and becomes very yummy and in a rich flavor. One bowl with a salad is a very recommended combo I would like to mention. If you don't like salad, a draft beer can be a perfect alternative. Cold Tofu salad is very refreshing, and the side of pickled cucumber is impressive. It balances the taste and flavor so well. Avocado Salad is 10/10 for me. The lettuce and avocado combined with Japanese salad sauce are so fresh and increase my appetizer a lot.

I stopped by this place for a quick solo dinner. It’s a well-known Chinese eatery famous for its soup dumplings, with multiple locations around New York City. I’ve been to their original spot in Flushing before, and this one in Williamsburg feels like a smaller satellite version — cozy but not ideal for large groups. Since it’s mostly self-service, you order from a screen inside, take a seat, and they bring your food to the table. I ordered a bowl of pork and shrimp wonton soup and their signature pork and leek soup dumplings (the green ones). I’ve had these dumplings at their Flushing location before, and they’ve always been excellent — flavorful, juicy, and perfectly steamed. At this location, though, they were still good but not quite as impressive as the original. The wonton soup was decent, but nothing special. The standout here is definitely their in-house chili oil — super spicy, aromatic, and full of flavor. If you visit, don’t skip it. Overall, a solid stop for dumpling lovers, though the Flushing branch still reigns supreme.

Food is amazing! The cucumber salad is to die for. So fresh and flavorful! Would come back just for the cucumbers. The soup dumplings are pretty good too, each bite exploding with hot pork soup. It’s a self service place and food comes out quickly. It’s a small cozy restaurant, limited seating.

Signature soup dumplings were great! Not a fan of the beef ones, has a weird taste and didn’t seem fresh. I’d come back for the other ones though 😊 Guy at the register can be more friendly and communicate more kindly.

I highly recommend this ramen spot in Brooklyn, the atmosphere is very cozy, food is delicious and flavorful, staff is extremely nice and place is clean! I would recommend the Tori Shoyu for those who don’t eat pork.

Nancy

Very good ramen that was perfect on a cold day. They specialize in tonkotsu, so I got the spicy tonkotsu and was very happy. Their stir fried mushrooms and kale was also very good. However, their vegan tantanmen was a bit off. It tasted like they used tahini in the sauce instead of roasted sesame paste. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. I'd come back.

Black garlic ramen is a rare find! I loved it. Spicy miso also good but not as impressive! Had a nice and comforting meal on Monday afternoon after watching the eclipse. Not too busy. Nice atmosphere and very cute and genius indoor design ideas such as the Madison jar lamp.

I ordered the vegan shoyumen and didn’t love it. It was just broth and noodles with some seared veggies on top, not what I expect from ramen. But I tried some of the miso ramen and all star my friends got which were excellent. I’ll definitely come back but will try another veg ramen. The seared edamame and veggie gyoza apps were good as well. Nice happy hour for drinks ($5 beer, cheap wine)

Food was served on a water damaged tray. Hate leaving negative reviews but this tray should not have been given to a customer. I thought the dumplings were average but was grossed by the tray and would not come back or recommend.

Danny

Their Tsukemen is not really tsukemen. The broth was much too thin and didn’t have the depth of flavor you’d want. Really disappointing. The tako wasabi was delicious but should come with seaweed, rather than an add-on. Still a value order! The karaage was very tasty; not crispy but very good, and the side salad is great.

Aysha Khawaja

We ordered fried edamame, tuna poke, the black garlic ramen and one of the veggie ramen with cashews. The food was very mediocre. Everything lacked flavor. But the service was amazing and we got everything really fast. Will not be coming back, I’ve had SO much better ramen other places.
